Facebook sharing is not working #229

Closed hammady closed 11 years ago

hammady commented 11 years ago

Sharing via Facebook opens the Facebook app, but with empty sharing text. However, sharing via others that I have tried works perfectly. If it is buggy you may use the Facebook API and display a small popup inside the app.

this is (intentionally) how facebook handles this stuff because it's against their TOS.

see: https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/332619626816423

proposed solution: send a link to quran.com while sharing to facebook (since they accept links, just not text because it's "against their TOS").

hammady commented 11 years ago

The link to the API gives 404 ( https://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/policy/application_integration_points/ ). But I got what you mean. I assume you will post a link to quran.com/chapter/verse rather than quran.com.

ahmedre commented 11 years ago

yes, that is correct.

closing this as there isn't anything we can do here at the moment. current version of the app supports sharing page links, which also works with facebook.
